Clinton communications guru Howard Wolfson confirms that he's taken a leave of absence from the Glover Park Group, and is now formally an employee of a new consulting firm all his own, named Gotham Acme(!).

He says the firm will have no clients other than Hillary.

The basic significance of his coming on board as a consultant -- rather than as a top staffer -- is that it confirms his status with Mark Penn and Mandy Grunwald in the top tier of Clinton aides. All three are listed as consultants, allowing -- among other things -- their fees to be buried in the larger sums of money transferred to their companies.

Of the three, Wolfson is the only one who is purely a Hillary person, as Penn and Grunwald both worked on her husband's campaigns.
